In this post I'll be working on compiling a list of every 2013 NFL free agent, restricted free agent, exclusive rights free agent, or potential salary cap casualty; the latter is the most difficult and will be composed of players with large salaries next season which appear easy for their teams to avoid paying, regardless of whether or not they will be cut. Many of these players may also sign more team-friendly extensions to save cap space. Some of the players have roster bonuses or workout bonuses which are specified; I've included dead money amounts where I could find them. Enjoy!

List of 2013 NFL Free Agents and Potential Cap Casualties

Guide: All players with financial information next to their names are potential salary cap casualties. RFA and ERFA are designated, as well as players with undisclosed contracts.

It will be interesting to see what the Eagles do with DRC, they didn't pay much to get him now in hindsight, but interesting nonetheless. Also with the average play by Asomugha, is he like a must re-sign or is he expendable?

They need to re-sign him, he's been outstanding in coverage:

15/33, 211 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT, 5 PD, 28.7 rating against

Look at the rest of their free agents: no one stands out as a franchise tag candidate aside from Cromartie.

The Giants are going to be in a very interesting situation on defense. Tuck, Canty, and Umenyiora are all regulars in the DL rotation, Michael Boley and Keith Rivers are their top two weakside linebackers, Chase Blackburn is starting in the middle, both starting safeties could be gone, and Webster/Terrell Thomas was projected as the starting duo. There could be a huge overhaul coming there. None of those players seem to be doing particularly well this year either, aside from Antrel Rolle. At those amounts, I can't imagine anyone being back except maybe Tuck.

I wasn't too sure about him, so I played it safe. Generally I tried to list anyone with a major contract. Joseph seems to have had an up-and-down career and now he's coming off of a season-ending knee injury with a lucrative contract. The Buccaneers invested heavily in Nicks this offseason as well.

He hasn't had an 'up and down career'. He has been consistently amazing. The Bucs signed Nicks so they could run the ball every second down.

All I want to know is: What's up with Sedrick Ellis? I was a huge fan of his coming out, but he's made little impact in NO. Is he going to re-sign or hit the open market? And what's his role at this point?

Tony McDaniel is a straight up UFA after this season. Jeron Mastrud is a RFA, as are Freeny and Amaya. Kaddu is in his rookie year on his rookie contract so he can be removed. Aside from that, I think you nailed the only player on the team that is really being linked to a potential cap cut in Incognito. That being said, Miami is gonna have a ton of cap space coming off the books between all the above players' contracts expiring plus tons of dead money from guys like B-Marsh, Vernon Carey, and Vontae so I wouldn't be shocked if they kept Incognito and let him play out his last year.

Jacobs will most likely be allowed to leave as an UFA.
Ginn is 50/50 on returning. Depends on other teams interest.
Manningham isnt going anywhere.
Moss will most likely be allowed to leave as an UFA.
Celek will probably be re-signed.
Walker depends on how much he's asking for.
Davis will be gone.
Goodwin will be an UFA in 2014. Unless Kilgore is ready to take over at C, he's not going anywhere.
Francois will be re-signed.
Sopoaga will probably be allowed to leave as an UFA.
Brown will be gone.
Gooden is 50/50.
Grant is 50/50.
Haggans will be gone.
Haralson will probably be a cap casulty because of his season ending injury.
Brock will be re-signed.
Goldson will be franchised again if he doesnt re-sign.
McBath will probably be gone.
Rogers could be a cap casulty especially since he's not playing as good as he did last year.
Whitner isnt going anywhere.
Lee definitely isnt going anywhere.

2) Devin Hester's "deescalating bonus" is never going to be even remotely met. It was based on unrealistic expectations for him as a wide receiver that he hasn't even come close to. Basically, one of those fake bonuses they put on contracts to stroke a player's ego. It will end up closer to 1-2 mil, or maybe nothing at all.

3) None of the other cap casualties are going to be cut (at least not the big ones). Peppers and Tillman are playing out of their minds.

The Giants are going to be in a very interesting situation on defense. Tuck, Canty, and Umenyiora are all regulars in the DL rotation, Michael Boley and Keith Rivers are their top two weakside linebackers, Chase Blackburn is starting in the middle, both starting safeties could be gone, and Webster/Terrell Thomas was projected as the starting duo.

Next couple years for the whole team is going to be very, very, important. On offense we have to re sign Cruz and Nicks. Someone said we have 36 million of expiring contracts to use a basketball term. So we have that fork in the road to decide what to do.

Yeah, there's not a snowballs chance in hell. He'll retire this year, or he'll rework his deal. On the off-chance that he refuses to do either, he's definitely going to be a cap casualty.

good news is GB is finally starting to show some solid depth at CB. Shields is having a bounceback year, Hayward has been great as a rookie, and Davon House was showing growth before getting hurt this year(and is now returning from his injury). Hopefully Cwood reworks his deal because it would be nice to see him finish up as a Packer

With how JEnnings season is shaping up, I'm not sure what happens with him. I could see a team desperate for WR still throw a boatload of money at him even after coming off an injury riddled season. Silver lining is that they are at least seeing glimpses of what Cobb can provide for them going forward

I heard that Sylvester Stallone wrote The Expendables with The Alex in mind. He had to keep it realistic though and split The Alex's abilities into multiple characters. Stallone thought that critics would pan it for being too far-fetched if he just had one character effing everyone up.

Bajema and Brown will both be unrestricted free agents after this season since they only signed 1-year deals. Allen is either an unrestricted free agent or a exclusive rights free agent.

You missed Maake Kemoeatu as an unrestricted free agent, David Reed as a restricted free agent, and Damien Berry as an exclusive rights free agent.

As for the potential cap causalities...

Boldin - I think there's a real chance the team cuts him. That's a pretty big cap number for a guy that hasn't produced a whole lot (whether it's his fault or the system he's in). The only problem with that is they would have to find another receiver either in free agency or the draft and I don't know if they would want to do either. I don't think the Ravens will have much cap space and with the shape the defense is in I have to believe that's going to get the top priority in the draft.

Jones - When the details of his contract came out I thought that he would definitely be cut after the season but now I'm not so sure. Jones has been a nice addition to the offense and the Ravens aren't in a position to be letting go of talented receivers.

Birk - Yeah I think he's definitely a guy that could be cut and there's a chance that he retires. The biggest reason for keeping him around is to mentor Gradkowski for a little while longer. Birk's play has been very iffy the last couple of seasons and I think Gradkowski could get a chance to start in a few weeks if it continues to be poor.

Lewis - No chance in hell this organization ever cuts Lewis. That's just not how Biscotti, Newsome, or Harbaugh does things. In terms of his on-field value and what he's producing he could be cut but there's just so much more to it with Lewis and I think we all know that. He's going to be a Raven until he decides to retire - which is a real possibility anyways.

McClain - Eh, probably not. They just gave him a new deal and other than him the only other ILBs under contract for next season are Lewis and Ayanbadejo. As much as I don't like McClain the Ravens probably need to hang onto him even if they take a guy at that position high in the draft.

Graham - I don't think he's going anywhere either. Graham is a really good special teams player and this regime puts a lot of value in that. He's also decent depth at CB and with the uncertainty of how Webb will look coming off of an ACL injury (it took him a full season to look good after his last ACL tear on the other knee, although that happened really late in the season as opposed to this one) they need to keep their talent at CB. With Williams being a free agent and potentially not coming back that's a big factor in this as well.

You could add Bobbie Williams to this list. I have a hard time believing that he will be back next season with how bad he's looked. Ayanbadejo could be cut too although his deal is pretty small.

The guys in red should be back. As Caddy said, I don't know why you would think Davin Joseph would be a cap casualty. I'd love to see Ronde Barber back for one more season, but I think he might retire.
